The Kalani White Thread

[Brian1961 5]

In 2019 my partner and I were travelling from Brisbane to Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island, Qld). via ferry. A fit and very tall young man travelling on the ferry with his mum and younger brother (he was tall too) had a Surfers Paradise Demons guernsey on. At some point he was standing near me on the almost hour-long ferry ride, I said it was good to see a mighty Demons jumper. The young man nonchalantly said 'my dad played a few games for the Dees'. I looked closely at him and realised Jeff White was his father.  He was a very humble and well-mannered young man; as were his mother and brother. I wished him well with his footy.  I hope he joins the Mighty Dees in 2025.  Go Dees!    

Kudos to First Dog on the Moon too (I am not a shareholder in his business either):

Agree. There is a lot at stake and it's not just Kalani. If we can get Kalani to nominate us then we likely will get 1st dibs on his twin brothers.

The club would be very aware of this.

Hope GC make the 8 next year as they can only nominate 2 players if that happens. They already have 2 likely mid type 1st rounders. They also have a stack of talls.

Couldn’t do worse than some of the representation we have had lately.

 

You could also have a ping at them for disallowing the Samoan kid, Tairon Ah-Mu as a Demon NGA. Discrimination works kinda

8?! Viney, Woewodin and Brown are on the 2025 list. Who else am I missing?

No you're right, I exaggerated for effect. Although we can double that if we go for White, Yze and whoever else is coming up to 18 y.o.

Jason Taylor was asked about Kalani White yesterday in his interview on "Gettables".

He said Kalani will be part of the Australian Squad and that he is developing well.
